Antibiotics treatment options for prostatitis

There are many different prostatitis antibiotics, including pills and intravenous drugs. The one prescribed depends on several factors, including the health and allergies of the patient as well as the severity of symptoms. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, which is usually caused by infection. It can be either chronic, with recurring symptoms over a period of months, or acute, with rapid onset symptoms.

Since the urethra travels through the prostate, any swelling results in difficulty urinating. Urination may also be painful. Other symptoms include pain in the abdomen or lower back, painful orgasms, and flu-like symptoms.

The most common prostatitis antibiotic for acute prostatitis is ciprofloxacin, given in a dose of 500 milligrams twice daily for 28 days. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic in the fluoroquinolone class. Patients who have had an allergic or adverse reaction to another fluoroquinolone should not take ciprofloxiacin. Side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache. This antibiotic increases the risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture, which may occur up to several months after treatment has ended.

Ofloxacin is another form of prostatitis antibiotics for the acute form of the disease. This drug is also a fluoroquinolone. The dosage is usually 200 milligrams for 28 days. Side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, gas, loss of appetite, dizziness, and tiredness. More serious side effects include hoarseness, fever, loss of consciousness, muscle or joint pain, and shortness of breath. This medication also increases risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture.

Note: Antibiotics may develop drug-resistance and carry side-effect. If you're suffering from recurrent infection, antibiotics may not be a proper treatment for you. Traditional Chinese medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill would be the best choice for you.
